On 9/11, we have visual evidence that a number of cars caught fire on the streets around the WTC complex. In the Burning Vehicles at Ground Zero – Slide Show are the images I’ve collected of the vehicles that were on fire after the collapses of the Twin Towers. Most of the images were taken on 09/11/01, while the vehicles were still on fire (if there is an image available) and before the vehicles were moved, otherwise.

The majority of vehicles that caught fire were on the north side of the WTC complex, in the area around WTC 7. The furthest away that vehicles caught fire was the West Street Parking Lot. Most of the vehicles were in the ‘small debris’ zone and often there is some aluminum cladding near by. But there are a number of vehicles that were not hit by falling debris that caught fire. So if the fires were caused by burning or overheated aluminum, other things would have caught fire too. But except for one report, it seems most of the people who were caught in the debris clouds did not get burnt.
So the big questions are how and exactly when did this happen? I still don’t know how, and no I don’t believe in space beams. I do believe that nano-thermite and other types of explosives were used to destroy the WTC complex. I hope that people who have more expertise then I do in regards to weapons and explosives can use this information to find out what did happen?
However, I have come across another series of images, that do establish WHEN most of the cars caught fire.
West Street Parking Lot – Slide Show
(Check out the slide show to see the whole series of pictures that gives context to the events in this area after the collapse of WTC 1.)
These pictures were taking on the morning of 9/11. Even after the skies around NYC were suppose to be cleared of air traffic, a number of helicopters were allowed to continue flying. In one of them, someone took a number of hi res photos that have appeared on the internet at a couple of sites. The best source that I know of is at Military Photos of the Twin Towers
The first image in the series establishes time - the start of the collapse of WTC 2

In image #20, the helicopter has come around to the west side, at the end of the collapse of WTC 2. The West Street Parking Lot is the right of WTC 7 and at this time there is no signs of smoke or fire from this area.

In image #25, WTC 1 is collapsing. The debris cloud has not yet reached the West Street Parking Lot, which is on the right side of the picture. There is no fire in this area at this point.

In image #28, the debris cloud now completely covers the parking lot and we can no longer see the vehicles underneath.

In image #40, the debris cloud is dissipating and there is now black smoke starting to rise from the vehicles.

In image # 47, the vehicles in the West Street Parking Lot are now billowing black smoke.

What happened between the start of the collapse of WTC 1 and when the debris cloud dissipated, that caused vehicles this far away to catch fire?

These burnt cars are on FDR Drive, about 7 blocks from the WTC along the East River, around a half mile from the WTC!
Those cars were moved there after the attack to clear the roads around the WTC. I have found no evidence of any cars on fire in that area. All of the images I’ve used in this study had to be of either vehicles on fire or burnt out vehicles before they were moved.
The pic in the previous post shows the location of the burnt vehicles on FDR Drive, a half mile from Ground Zero,

These are some of the burnt cars on FDR Drive.
You do know that those cars were move there after the attack to clear the roads around the WTC? If Woods had done even a half-assed job with the evidence she collected she would know that and stop making claims that have already been disproven.
Its not a matter of belief, its evidence. Lets just say the cars WERE moved there (they weren’t), your ‘belief’ doesn’t even begin to explain the the manner in which the cars were destroyed. Does Thermite discriminate between a car fender and say, a seat belt? Look at the many photographs of the cars, forget where they are for now, and try and explain HOW YOU would inflict this kind of very discriminate damage. Another picture that always gets my attention is the police car with front end completely seemingly melted, while the plastic light bar atop the car (used to call them ‘cherries!’) is in perfect condition. This is where BELIEF and EVIDENCE hit a fork in the road. And this is what makes Dr Woods investigation so remarkable. Look at her book, her Facebook pictures, or Youtube interviews, you will see what went on.
Image 25 that shows the North Tower standing alone, also proves 911 columnist Christopher Bollyn is a false flagger, since it plainly shows that WTC’s 5 & 6 remain undamaged.
Whereas Bollyn says in “The Mystery of WTC 6″ June 23, 2009, “WTC 6 had been damaged before either tower fell.”

I have appended numerous comments onto Bollyn’s site, as well as sending him PMs and emails, in an attempt to get him to see his error and to amend his synopsis, all of which fell on deaf ears!
For the record the tremendous damage to WTC’s 3,4,5,& 6 occurred, when the thermonuclear demo charges embedded in the collapse material from the falling towers came into contact with them!

Why don’t you post the thermite reaction under each burnt car and see what happens. You could mention that all the burnt cars seem to have had come in contact with molten metal or had aluminium covers on…Fe2O3 + 2 Al → Al2O3 + 2 Fe
